llrrn TATES FRANK TASHIRO, OF NEW' YORK, N. Y.

DEVICE FOR HOLDING SEWING MATERIALS, SLC.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 607,897, dated July 26, 1898.

Application filed December 17,1897. Serial No. 662,299. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern- Be it known that I, FRANK TAsHIRo, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, (Brooklym) in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Holding Sewing Materials or the Like,of which the following is a full and complete specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a device that may be called a sailors companion or travelers bag, the object being to provide a small and conveniently-aman ged device having certain capabilities and conveniences that will be set forth.

The invention consists in the structural features hereinafter fully described and specifically claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the4 separate parts of myimprovement are designated by the same numerals of reference in each of the views, and in which- Figure l is a side `elevation of this device with a lower corner in section. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is an end elevation when the bag is closed and rolled, and Fig. 4 is a fragmentary section on the line 4 4 of Figs. l and 2.

In the drawings forming part of this specification, l indicates an ordinary i'lat bag or sack with a gathering-cord 2 for closing the mouth. At the bottom thereof is a transverse pocket 3, conveniently formed by stitch-` ing the sides of the bag together on a line parallel with the bottom. One end of the pocket is open and the other closed, While a slot 4 is made in the bottom of the pocket, for a purpose to be explained.

A case 5, conveniently cylindrical, ts With-4 the necessity of removing the cover 6. The

` side of the bag is, furthermore, provided with a transverse pocket 8, open at one side thereof and adapted to be closed by a flap 9, as shown in Fig. '1, while a pad or cushion l0 extends transversely across one side of the bag. In the particular construction illustrated the pad l0 is formed by a ply 11, stitched to the inner face of the side of the bag to form a closed pocket having a suitable filling. rlhe pocket 8 is formed by another ply 12, stitched to the rear side of the pad on three sides and to the bag at its other side, a slit or mouth 13 being formed in the bag adjacent thereto, which, as before stated, is closed by the iiap 9.

In Fig. 3 of the drawings the bag is shown as rolled, and it is seen that the pad 10 comes opposite the slot 7 in the bottom of the case 5 and serves to eftectually close the same, since the pad being soft and flexible completely ills the mouth of the slot 7 in an obvious manner.

The case 5 can contain small articles, like buttons, to be inserted and removed through the slot 7, While longer and larger articles can pass through the open end, that is normally closed by the cover 6. rlhe pad l0 serves as a pincushion, while the pocket 8 can contain scissors or the like. The manner in which the invention is employed will be apparent from the foregoing description, it being noted that it can be closely rolled when not in use.

Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A device of the class herein specified, comprising a flexible bag `closed at one end and open at the other, a transverse case con nected with the closed end of said bag and provided with a slot or opening in one side thereof, said slot or opening being adapted to be closed by the bag when the latter is rolled around said case, substantially as shown and described.

2. A device of the kind specilied, comprising a flexible bag having a slotted-pocket at its lower end, and a slotted case in said pocket adapted to be closed by the bag when rolled, substantially as set forth.

3. A device of the kind specified, comprising a flexible bag having. a slotted pocket at its lower end, said pocket having open and closed ends, and a slotted casein said pocket provided at its end adjacent the open end of the pocket with a removable cover, substantially as set forth.

4. A device of the kind specified, Comprising t flexible bag having zt slotted oase at its lower end, and a pad or cushion on one side adapted to close the slot in said oase When the bag is rolled on the oase, substantially as set forth.

5. A device of the kind specified, Comprising a flexible bag having a pad or cushion at one side, a transverse pocket in the rear of said pad or cushion opening through a slit in the side of the bag, a flap for closing said FRANK TASI-IIRO.
